there is an asteroid or a minor planet named after me

[Doreen Peri]

Apparently there is an asteroid or a minor planet named after me, depending on who you consult with.

It's called 4888 Doreen.

I know it's named after me because of all the eights in it.

And it also has a 4 which means it's 4 Doreen, for me.

See how logical I can be?

Oh phooey... it was named after someone else, according to the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names.

Oh well. So much for my minute of fame.
